Under the Dim Lights of The Jazz Lounge, Desire and Deception Collide
Christine and her gang of friends raise their glasses in a toast. “To Christine and Danny!”
Abby asks if the bride-to-be has anything to share with them.

Christine laughs. “Love is sweeter the second time around!”
Everyone thinks that’s true. Traci says that Jack and Diane have proven that true.
Christine admits she’d given up on love until Danny came back into her life. It worked out better than she could have expected! She thinks everyone will find their happy ending when the time is right… And hopefully, Phyllis will, too, so she can butt out of her happily blissful life!

Lauren tells Phyllis that she’s better than this.

Phyllis says that Christine has been trying to ruin her life from the time they met; she stole Danny from her!
Lauren says Phyllis needs to end the grudge she’s holding.

Phyllis doesn’t listen. She says Christine is fake; she’s vicious and cruel and throws her happiness in Phyllis’s face every time she can. Christine has convinced Danny that he’s happy, but he’s not! He’ll wake up someday and realize he’s made a huge mistake, and it’ll be too late.
Lauren knows Phyllis doesn’t want Danny anymore. Why is she spending her time and energy twisting the knife?
Christine walks over. “I was wondering the same thing.” She says that Phyllis can’t handle that Christine is getting what Phyllis will never have… Happiness! That’s on Phyllis, though, she’s made her own choices!

Phyllis scoffs. She’s made great choices in her life!
Christine says the last time someone looked at Phyllis the same way that Danny looks at her is when Phyllis briefly married Jeremy Stark. That was sick, and it’s proof that Phyllis is crazy and can’t find true love!
Phyllis lunges at Christine, but Lauren holds her back.

Traci asks Phyllis what she’s thinking.
Phyllis says she’s not crazy. She’s upset, and she’s tired of Christine, who has no soul, and will never get what she wants!
Christine says Phyllis is sad, and the fact that she’s downstairs causing troubles makes her seem unhinged.

Victoria offers to walk Phyllis out.
Phyllis says she’s fine and happy to leave this “loser party” where Christine is celebrating her marriage with a minimal amount of friends… She only has five people there! She wishes her good luck with her “Happy Loser Marriage”. She says that Christine will be chasing Danny all over the world as he tries to get away from her on every continent. She runs upstairs.
